Papazmurf Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 This is even less of a "scam" than the GTN conspiracy. No guarantees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilNob Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) So I just bought a hyper crate and scored a MSM JT-2 Jetpack in the 2nd pack I opened Now I just need to pull a second one to sell Edit: Ok... pack #12... Jetpack #2... I'm not necessarily trying to brag, but RNG is definitely on my side today... Edited March 26, 2015 by EvilNob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technologica Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 RNG is RNG. Not getting what you want doesn't make it a scam. Does it suck? Yes. But it's gambling. You aren't guaranteed what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anzel Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I bought 10 hypercrates, so 240 packs. I got 0 jetpacks and 1 Vorontikus (third from the last pack). I realize its gambling, but I thought the odds were a little better than that. I wont cry though. But you should cry... that sucks bro... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigeldeJ Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 You can open as much packs as you want, the drop rate isn't magically gonna go up just because you bought 120 packs. The drop rate will stay exactly the same, for every single pack that you open. .1% stays .1%(or whatever the droprate is on some items, you get the point.)

Kemiho Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) What about selling the stuff you got and buy the Jetpack with the money? With all those packs you definitely have something with some kind of value, just not the thing you (OP) wanted. And next time: don't spend your money on gambling when you cannot deal with the fact that winning is not guranteed.

Lunafox Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 don't buy lottery tickets if your going to whine when you don't win the jackpot... 120 is a lot but nobody forced that on you Nobody forced him, that's true, but honestly, I do think they should make the odds for it a bit better, that if you open that kind of amount that you at least get one. That's just a bit ridiculous not to get even one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JattaGin Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Update, I have now opened 264 packs, and I got a jetpack 264 packs = 11 hypercrates = 59,400 CC = 385 EUR* Congratulations. That is a real bargain for a virtual jetpack. *If you bought 11 x 5.500 CC from the shop. 1.100 CC should remain if the new pack costs 5.400 per crate (haven't checked it yet).

ThorgrimLutgen Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I opened 120 Master's Shadow Pack's and NOT A SINGLE "MSM JT-2 Jetpack". Is that mount even in the pack or not? Refusing to spend another penny on CCs since the CSM fiasco, but picked a jetpack up for 7m just now, GTN flooded with them, so guessing the drop rates were better than usual.

Arlon_Nabarlly Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I refuse point blank to pay other players for it off gtn. Why? I can only think of 3 reasons: 1. You love gambling and this would ruin the experience for you. It would be nice if your computer lit up and made noise every time you got a super rare item so you could feel like you won big in the casino 2. You hate money and would much rather throw it away buying something the most convoluted way possible. I'm sure when you want a pack of gum you just buy your local grocery store and hope they have your flavor in stock somewhere in the store. 3. You just hate logic. Buying a hypercrate, selling unopened packs for credits, then buying the items you want with credits is a tried and true way to both get what you want and actually make more credits than you lose. You're also in a much better state to make money because you're going to get more credits for unopened packs then trying to sell the useless items no one wants.

Vandriss Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 264 packs = 11 hypercrates = 59,400 CC = 385 EUR* Congratulations.

I did the same number crunch. Why on earth would you even bother spending such an amount. Absurd. Even if cash grew on your back it would be absurd. But I shouldn't judge. We all do things others find silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curulz Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Two hyper crates, I got everything but the jetpack and Vornticus. Plenty of stuff to sell.... I'm a CM junkie, and I admit it. Two crates and got two vorans, but no jet pack. So I bought an extra 4 packs (not the crates) just to roll my luck again. Jet pack on the last one.

Raphael_diSanto Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 You can open as much packs as you want, the drop rate isn't magically gonna go up just because you bought 120 packs. The drop rate will stay exactly the same, for every single pack that you open. .1% stays .1%(or whatever the droprate is on some items, you get the point.) People never actually grasp that fact about drop rates. 10% is 10% and it means you have 10% to get one, when you open a pack. It does NOT mean that you're guaranteed to get one if you open ten packs. (n.b. The 10% is a made up number, used here purely for example purposes. I do not claim to know what the drop rate for anything in a Cartel Pack is. I don't buy them anyway. There's never anything I want in them.)
